10. Not sure what you're so huffy about.

I disagree with your position and I explained why. Target is turning a blind eye to the real problem. They're losing customers, and they'll lose more now that they're not showing any interest in offering merchandise that will attract them.

You tried to negate that assumption by going off on a tangent. Saying no, it's not this, but that.

So, you ignored the real problem, in my estimation. Customers. The only reason why Walmart is doing better is because they offer the cheapest products for the lowest prices. If Target tries to follow that example, they'll lose their bread and butter base, in my opinion. The way I see it, their base is now the suburban mom. If they want to raise prices, they need to change their merchandise.
